Published: November 2018

A novel multi-view non-contact dynamic diffuse optical tomographic imaging system for the clinical evaluation of vasculature in the lower extremities is presented. The system design and implementation are described in detail, including methods for simultaneously obtaining and reconstructing diffusely reflected and transmitted light using a system of mirrors and a single CCD camera. The system and its performance using numeric simulations and optical phantoms. Measurements of a healthy foot in vivo demonstrates the potential of the system in assessing perfusion within the foot.

A Novel Temperature Drift Compensation Algorithm for Liquid-Level Measurement Systems.

Micromachines (Basel)

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Micro/Nano Devices and Systems, Ministry of Education, North University of China, Taiyuan 030051, China.

Aiming at the problem that ultrasonic detection is greatly affected by temperature drift, this paper investigates a novel temperature compensation algorithm. Ultrasonic impedance-based liquid-level measurement is a crucial non-contact, non-destructive technique. However, temperature drift can severely affect the accuracy of experimental measurements based on this technology.

Broad-temperature optical thermometry necessitates materials with exceptional sensitivity and stability across varied thermal conditions, presenting challenges for conventional systems. Here, we report a lead-free, vacancy-ordered perovskite Cs2TeCl6, that achieves precise temperature sensing through a novel combination of self-trapped excitons (STEs) photoluminescence (PL) lifetime modulation and unprecedented fifth-order phonon anharmonicity. The STEs PL lifetime demonstrates a highly temperature-sensitive response from 200 to 300 K, ideal for low-to-intermediate thermal sensing.

Reversible Ferroelectric Polarization Modulation of Chiral Molecular Ferroelectrics by Circularly Polarized Light.

Adv Sci (Weinh)

January 2025

Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, 20742, USA.

The optical modulation of ferroelectric polarization constitutes a transformative, non-contact strategy for the precise manipulation of ferroelectric properties, heralding advancements in optically stimulated ferroelectric devices. Despite its potential, progress in this domain is constrained by material limitations and the intricate nature of the underlying mechanisms. Recent studies have achieved efficient regulation of ferroelectric polarization and thermal conductivity in chiral ferroelectric thin films through the application of left- and right-handed circularly polarized light (LCP and RCP).
